"I Can Lick Any Guy in This Legislative Body!"

You want to know why the impending health care "reform" bill resembles something that a drunken chimpanzee would type up? Because everyone thought, once upon a time, that it would be a good idea to let Max Baucus, the God of Eggnog, take point crafting this co-opted piece of shit.

The Baucus meltdown?At least he spoke some truth--- but honestly, I see that the process was skewed by the Cash flow from lobbyists. Yes, in part the GOP decided to walk in lockstep, but their votes were also bought & paid for, and speaking of under the influence, Baucus himself took a huge sum in his coffers from Wealthcare as well.... he talks the talk, but was a part of the watering down of the bill to make sure the result was insurance industry's favorable outcome. I wonder if Baucus is only willing to make this statement when he has a few under his belt?
